Chapter 538 Bruce Is Acting Weird


    At first, Genevieve wanted to reject him, but when she remembered she still had questions for


    him, she agreed. “Let''s go for barbecue. How about that?”


    The man responded with an affirmative grunt and walked around the car to get into the front passenger

    seat.


    Joash had just arrived with the minivan when he saw Bruce getting into Genevieve''s car. With hasty


    movements, he got out of the vehicle and asked, “Mr. Gable, why are you in Ms. Rachford''s car?”


    “I''m buying her supper to thank her for her help,” Bruce replied. “The minivan will draw unnecessary


    attention. Just leave it here.”


    Joash touched the back of his head sheepishly. “You''re right.”


    Who would''ve thought Amelia would be so despicable as to drug that ss of red wine? That woman


    would have had her way with Mr. Gable had I not bumped into Ms. Rachford. He should indeed take


    her out for supper.


    With that, Joash went to look for the valet posted at the front of the club and passed him the minivan''s


    key.


    Turning around, he was about to get in Genevieve''s car, only to find out they had left.


    A few secondster, he received a text message from Bruce: Take a taxi to Golden Restaurant.


    “Oh,e on!” Joash felt sorry for himself.


    Why did he do this to me? We could have gone there in one car!


    At the same time, he felt there was something off with Bruce. Since recovering from his leg injury, the


    Even when Bruce was on the set, he would pull himself away from all the female actresses every time


    a scene waspleted.


    Why did Mr. Gable interact with Ms. Rachford multiple times when he despises women so much? He


    even got into her car.


    While Joash was hailing a taxi from the sidewalk, a thought popped up in his mind. Is he trying to live


    off Ms. Rachford?


    In the past, Genevieve was a regr of Golden Restaurant, so the restaurant owner would always


    reserve a private room for her even if her presence was not expected.


    “Ms. Rachford,” the restaurant owner greeted Genevieve with a smile, delighted to meet her after not


    seeing her for more than two months. He then brought them to their private room.


    Genevieve sat down and said to the owner, “We would like to have barbecue today. Could you make


    the necessary arrangement for us? We''ll have the spicy and non-spicy ones.”


    The owner nodded with a smile. “Sure. I''ll get the kitchen to see to it.”


    Soon after, a few waiters came in with fruits and drinks.


    When Genevieve was about to reach for the drinks, Bruce stood up and served her one instead. He


    then proceeded to pour himself a cup.


    “Thank you.”


    Finding the drink a little too cold for her liking, Genevieve picked a slice of cantaloupe with a fork and


    ate it.


    She tilted her head and gave the man a curious look. “When we were in the car, I told you that Mrs.


    Hossler liked jewelry, but I didn''t mention who this Mrs. Hossler was. How did you know who I was


    referring to? And how did you know she hates others giving her jewelry in public?”


    When Genevieve requested Jan''s help to contact Pa, she also asked around to find out what the


    How did a minor celebrity like him know about Mrs. Hossler''s pet peeve when even I don''t?


    The man casually leaned against the chair after serving Genevieve the drink. “The one and only Mrs.


    Hossler in the entertainment industry is the wife of Exuberance Group''s CEO, Marlon Hossler,” he


    replied in a slightly hoarse voice.


    “I attended Mr. Hossler''s charity g once and shared the same table with another male celebrity,


    who''s the boyfriend of Mrs. Hossler''s cousin,” he added.


    Genevieve could tell the rtionship between Pa''s cousin with the so-called boyfriend was unusual.


    “Well, I''m d you told me about it, or I would have brought in the jewelry piece and given it to Mrs.


    Hossler. Not only will the business dealing fail, but she may even cklist me for that.”


    “I''m just telling you what I know, Ms. Rachford.” Bruce smiled faintly. “I should thank you instead. You


    saved me just now.”


    Genevieve waved her hands and said casually, “You''re from mypany. I can''t just allow someone to


    bully my employee. Besides, that female producer is quite despicable for employing such a trick.”


    Not only did she force him to obey her, but she also drugged his red wine. That woman is pushing him


    over the edge.


    Bruce took a sip of his drink and said, “That producer''s husband was a renowned director in the


    country. He had a strongwork in showbiz but was not close with Mrs. Hossler. After he passed away


    half a year ago, she inherited all his assets and resources.”


    While speaking, the man looked at Genevieve. “Ms. Rachford, I don''t think she''ll let you go easily since


    you smashed the bottle on her head... Have I gotten you into trouble?”


    Genevieve was unbothered by a person like Amelia. “She doesn''t call the shots in showbiz, so don''t


    worry.”


    Even if Amelia were that powerful, she would not be intimidated by her.


    Cooper had vast connections in the business world, so cklisting a producer would be just a piece of


    cake. Besides, since Helt Corporation had Genevieve Orsi Productions'' back, no one would dare to


    step on their toes.


    The corner of the man''s lips quirked upward when he heard her response. “Thank you, Ms. Rachford.”


    “Don''t mention it,” Genevieve said. At that point, she felt that something was amiss about their


    conversation but could not quite put her finger on it.
